Harley Bike City Tour, Sydney, Australia

by Nausheen Tareen

There are many ways to explore a city but doing it as a pillion rider on a Harley Davidson bike is one heck of a novel experience. Rather than a travel guide blurting out boring facts, you get a lively burly bike rider doubling as your tour guide narrating interesting facts and trivia. While Hop On and Hop Off buses still remain a popular way to navigate and know the city, a Harley Bike City Tour should be your pick when visiting Sydney next.

Our Harley tour guide Phil from Wild Ride.

I was in Sydney for my honeymoon and as like the BridgeClimb, my husband had experience Harley city tour earlier. He wanted me to experience it too and boy… it was one memorable ride. We finished our lunch and rushed to find Phil and Phil waiting for us outside Park Royal Darling Harbour. The proud Harley owners usually take out bikes only when they go on a bike tour with fellow Harley mates or when tourists like us want a city experience.
After a brief intro and quick high fives, the duo handed us our jackets and helmets that we gleefully adorned and hopped on to their mean machines. The vrooming sound of engine immediately got our adrenaline going. Ours was a one hour tour of the city covering prominent places such as Harbour Bridge, Bondi Beach and upscale suburbs of Sydney. The baritone of our tour guides, sound of bikes and the sights of Sydney made for a heady combo.
While we were on a bike each, we also noticed people enjoying a Harley trike ride. We were informed that Harley city tours and especially trike rides are not just a great tourist attraction but also a popular gifting idea for the bachelor’s or bachelorette parties and also common with young professionals for corporate outings. The novelty of experience and knowledge of riders is what makes it a much better city tour than any other.
Next time in Sydney, give popular operators Wild Ride or Troll Tours a shout and hop on a Harley and vroom off in Sydney streets.
